Why is there such a backlash on what you're actually trying to say?
25:23
Because we're supposed to be kind, aren't we, us women? And we're supposed to give our things up.
25:27
And yet, who's being kind to the women? Who's being kind to our girls? So I've had so many stories reported to me, as you'd imagine.
25:34
And one of the most heartbreaking ones was a mother who rang me up and said, please help me.
25:40
My daughter's just come back from school.
25:41
She's 11.
25:42
She's really sporty.

Can you tell us a little bit more about that?
11:33
My point is, is that so long as the law is still trying to both defend women's rights and defend trans rights, there's always going to be a point of contention and something to battle over.
11:44
Yeah.
11:45
But except that no one has ever been denied access to sport.
11:47
No one has ever been denied access to a bathroom.
11:49
It's just the bathroom that you're choosing to, to, to use.
11:53
And trans activists, you know, trans-identifying males in particular, they are the ones that are saying, "We wish to use this bathroom." Well, they don't get to do that.
12:02
You know, no one is saying they had- don't have access to a bathroom.
13:17
Do you think they're gonna fight this as much as they can? Do you think they're gonna continue campaigning against women's single-sex spaces, or have you won?
58:47
Yes,
58:48
absolutely, over the years.
58:48
I mean, I helped John Major launch the lottery, you know, to help athletes years and years ago.
58:54
But I would say it's the hypocrisy across the board which I have a problem with.
58:57
You know, I think if you sort of live by the sword, then you die by the sword.
59:00
So if you turn around and call for things, you know, at a certain point, then it's going to come back and bite you on the backside.
59:07
So...

Yes,

absolutely, over the years.

9:13
But I would say it's the hypocrisy across the board which I have a problem with.
9:16
You know, I think if you sort of live by the sword, then you die by the sword.
9:19
So if you turn around and call for things, you know, at a certain point, then it's going to come back and bite you on the backside.
